Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Read This If You Love Your

Mother-In-Law!
Just in Time for Mother's Day
If you have never wanted to play a little joke on your mother-in-law then maybe this gift guide isn't for you. On the
other hand, if there has been no love lost in your relationship and you want to make your mother-in-law's life as
miserable as she's made yours, here are a few ideas to satisfy that dark side and have a little fun in the process.
Complicated Universal Remote
No universal remote, that we're aware of, configures itself but some of these devices can drive people crazy. One unit
that comes up below average in value and user sentiment ratings is the Philips SRU9600 which gets mixed reviews
and costs just under $100. Some users complain about the ease-of-use on Sony RM-AX4000 which costs a little over
$100. You can provide hours of frustration and misery for your mother in-law as she tries to configure or use one of
the remotes.
Just About Any Wireless Router
Dump a wireless router in the lap of your mother in-law, tell her all about the joys of wireless computing and then
split. Just don't answer the phone for a few days while she tries to configure the router to get it to talk to the ten
pound laptop you recommended she buy. The Linksys WRVS4400N gets below average sentiment ratings along with
the Netgear WNR854T. Save those phone messages too! They may provide hours of entertainment enjoyment to you
and all your friends.
GPS Devices Guaranteed to Get Your Mother-in-Law Lost
Whether it's a small handheld GPS or one on the car dashboard, GPS devices are supposed to make it easy to enter
destinations and then get to them. The Magellan Triton 1500 and Alpine PMD-B200 show up on the bottom of most
lists for good value and ratings. So when your mother in-law complains about the GPS you bought her, just say, "I've
never had any trouble using my GPS."
Cameras That Takes Blurry Pictures
Buying a digital camera that takes lousy pictures may be harder than you think. Most cameras are idiot proof and
some of the better cameras with image stabilization and face technology make it downright hard to take a bad
picture. So providing your mother in-law with an idiot-proof product that can make her feel like an idiot is priceless.
Most websites can recommend a couple of real bargains in the extreme low-end camera category that will most
likely take a less than perfect picture. The Argus DC1512 barely has enough mega pixels to be called a camera and
can be purchased for under $30 while the Micro Innovations 3120 costs even less at $10.80 and also gets low ratings.
Cheap MP3 Player
Your mother-in-law won't be the envy of her bridge club with these low-end MP3 players and they probably won't
sound that great either. The Coby MP-C756 MP3 player barely has enough memory to hold a few songs and doesn't
get the greatest ratings while the Nextar MA933A holds even fewer songs than the Coby and gets low marks for the
display quality. One reviewer notes that the font was "too small for older eyes." Perfect!
Now Seriously Folks. . .
We all know you would never do anything like this to your poor old mother-in-law so just in case you want to get
yourself or someone you love the best values in gadgets or gear, you can find reviews and manuals for all popular
electronics like GPS, HDTV, Digital Cameras, Camcorders, and more on Retrevo.com

Sharing History:
Cinco De Mayo
Even though the holiday originated in Mexico, it has become very popular in the United States; so well, as a matter of
fact, that it is more widely and enthusiastically celebrated here than it is in Mexico! There are both historical and cultural
reasons for this difference - and of course, you will want to get your students up to speed while keeping them engaged in
learning a little more about Mexican and US history at the same time.
Depending on the age of your students, the activities and information you will include in your lesson plans will vary. Very
young children won't be too likely to retain all of the dates and names which relate to the history of this holiday, but you
can still get them thinking about Cinco de Mayo through some fun activities such as making red, white and green tissue
paper flowers, which are a popular decoration (as well as fashion accessory) worn by men and women alike in the parts
of Mexico where Cinco de Mayo is celebrated. You can also use the opportunity to teach even the youngest of students a
little bit of basic Spanish by making a Spanish bingo game as part of your Cinco de Mayo lesson plans.
If you're teaching older children, then you have a lot more options available to you and while you may want to include
some enjoyable activities as part of your lesson on Cinco de Mayo, you'll definitely want to teach the history of this May
5th holiday and its context in the Maximilian Affair and how this event relates to American history as well.

As you already know, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May
5th, 1862. A lot of people think that the holiday is Mexico's Independence Day, which of course, it is not - think of this as
your chance to educate the next generation about the real history behind the holiday.
It is a great starting off point to teach your class some lesser known facts about the US Civil War in your Cinco de Mayo
lesson plans. Your students may be intrigued to know that the 5th of May was the beginning of Mexico's resistance to
France's invasion; resistance which kept Napoleon III's army too busy to assist the breakaway southern states in the Civil
War, with whom France was allied. The US repaid the favor following the Union victory in the Civil War, putting a naval
blockade in place to prevent the French from resupplying their troops or sending reinforcements as well as sending
armaments and other supplies to our allies south of the border.
Cinco de Mayo is in many ways a celebration of Mexico and the contributions that Mexican-Americans have made to our
own culture, at least for those of us in the United States; and including some of these facts in your Cinco de Mayo lesson
plans can add some educational value to this fun and festive day.

In The Kitchen

Heart Lace Crepes
This recipe puts whimsy back into breakfast foods– with a squeeze bottle and a little finesse, you can make your
own lace crêpes.
You’ll find that this crêpe batter is a little bit more fluid than the traditional recipe. The reason being is that the
batter needs to be thin enough to flow out of a small tip squeeze bottle. One trick that also helps is to strain your
crêpe batter through a fine sieve to remove any clumps that might get stuck when you try to pour your batter
onto your pan.

1.In a large bowl, mix ingredients together (wet-dry method).
Whisk, or blend until the batter is smooth and there are no large
clumps.
2. Pre-heat a lightly buttered non-stick pan on medium heat. Tilt
and pour your batter onto the pan, creating a freehand “lace”
pattern. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but after the first
2, I found it quite easy and fun to make random patterns.
3. Cook the crêpes until golden on the bottom, about 2
minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden. Because of the
lace pattern, you can’t exactly fill these crêpes– instead, you can
lightly dust them with sugar, or pour your favorite syrup or
compote on top. Et Voila!

Health & Wellness

Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are one of nature's truest super foods. They
contain a large number of vital nutrients and are
virtually hypoallergenic. They are an excellent source of
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein, fiber,
calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, iron, and
zinc as well as antioxidants that can help your body
perform better and more efficiently. As a matter of fact,
they provide more essential omega-3 and omega-6 than
eating fish, and are a great alternative source of these
nutrients for vegetarians and those who simply don't
like fish. Chia seeds have a long shelf life and are able
to be stored for several years without souring or losing
potency. This makes buying bulk chia seeds one of the
most cost effective solutions. The human digestive
system can easily process these seeds without having to
grind them down like flax seeds and have a very mild
flavor, which allows them to easily be added to any dish
without altering the taste or consistency.
The organic chia seeds offer the additional nutritional
benefit in that they are grown and harvested without the
use of harmful pesticides and herbicides, allowing
consumers to truly benefit from adding them into their
everyday diet plans without the worry of side effects
from chemical use. The organic label also means that
there are no preservatives or other artificial ingredients
added after growing to enhance the color, flavor or shelf
life of the seeds. Organic farmers and distributors

adhere to the highest standards for chia seed production
that prohibits them from using chemicals of any kind. It
is important, however, that consumers look for certified
organic chia seed farmers and distributors as this will
ensure that the suppliers are following these guidelines.
Studies have shown that organic chia seeds have
energizing properties that can boost your metabolism
and energy to help promote weight loss and provide you
with the energy you need to perform at optimal levels
all day. The energy provided by chia seeds is released
over time, so users experience a stable, constant level of
alertness rather than the ups and downs they get from
caffeine and sugar.
In addition to revving up the metabolism, chia seeds
also offer overweight individuals the ability to naturally
suppress their appetites. Because the fiber in chia seeds
is water soluble, they slow the body's digestion of
carbohydrates and provide the feeling of being fuller
longer, reducing cravings and appetite. This also aids in
the digestive process as more water and fiber will allow
solid waste to be more efficiently removed from the
body. Those individuals looking for nutritional
insurance for their diets but don't want to take a bevy of
supplements, those looking to shed a few pounds and
even those looking for a natural energizer than
promotes digestive health need look no farther than chia
seeds.

Why Cardboard Boxes?

Residential move is quite a tedious and hectic job. The most irritating
and time consuming part of relocation is packing and storing the
belongings to be delivered safely to the right destination. In that you
need to look for safe and durable cartons to store your valuables.
Cardboard packing boxes are most convenient materials to pack
different types of goods to be transported.
1. Light weight
One of the biggest advantages of such containers is that these are light
in weight and can be transported easily. Also, these can be recycled so
you can also contribute to the good cause of the environment.
2. Items it stores
Cardboard packing boxes can be used to store light weight and nonbreakable goods like: - clothes, stationery items, and a variety of small
size and light goods. Avoid storing fragile and delicate goods which
have the risk of getting damaged. Or if you want to, use bubble wraps
and robust packing materials to cover the items properly. Also, do not
over stuff these cartons and always use heavy duty tapes to let the
items stay intact and remain damage free.
3. Store other goods
Aside from storing your residential or commercial goods; you can also
store small bits and pieces or probably random items to de-clutter your
space. Buying these types of cartons is a good idea to better organize
your space and make it more presentable.
4. Cost effective solution
Cardboard packing boxes are quite affordable in contrast to buying
plastic boxes or containers made up of other materials. Since these are
re-usable in nature, it wouldn't create a hole on your pocket. No matter
how many pieces of cartons to purchase.
5. Easy labeling
These reusable cartons can be labelled easily with the aid of
permanent markers. You may also paste stickers about the contents of
the box. For example: - you can label each box with the type of goods it
contains- wardrobe, fragile items, stationery goods, documents and
files, etc. This will help you easily unpack your cartons without any
fuss. So if you urgently require something in specific, you can unpack
that container with immediate effect.
6. Varieties available
You can find a wide variety of sizes, shapes, designs and colors of
cartons to suit your specific moving needs. So if you want to store your
clothes, you can buy specially designed wardrobe boxes, archive
boxes to pack important items you want to preserve, bedroom moving
pack box to pack your bedroom stuff, medium size containers to pack
specific quantity of goods and large size cartons if you have several
things to be packed and relocated.
So if you want to safely shift your valuables from one location to
another, order for cardboard packing boxes, available at exciting
prices on the web.

One of the most important things to do when purchasing
a home is to find a great real estate agent to make the
process flow smoothly and effectively. A question
many people ponder is how to find a good real estate
agent. The best agent may not necessarily work at one
of the top ten agencies in the area. The agent who will
work best for you would be an experienced agent who
will listen to your needs, act in a professional and
ethical manner and knows the market in your area.
1.)Word-of-Mouth or Referral
Most real estate professionals attract a sizable amount
of business because of a satisfied client who
recommends them to a friend, family member or
neighbor. When you are thinking of purchasing a home,
it is a good idea to ask those around you who they have
used and ask them to elaborate on their specific
experience with the real estate agent in question.
Successful real estate agents strive to make customer
satisfaction their number one priority and will do
everything they can to facilitate a good experience for a
customer. Try to find an agent that has a proven track
record and reputation for delivering quality service,
customer satisfaction, and have experience in the
neighborhoods that you are looking in.
2.) Do an Online Search For Real Estate Agents
There are many online resources available when
searching for a real estate agent referral, but this by no
means ensures quality. The agents referred online may
have paid a fee to the website owner to be listed in the
directory. Performing a Google search of the top agents
in your area and then reviewing their websites will give
you a good list of agents to interview. Agents who have
experience in the field will tell you, but a newer agent
will more than likely have the extra time to spend
working with you. Review any customer testimonials
or feedback about an agent you may be interested in
retaining.
3.) Visit Open Houses in the Area
You should visit some area open houses where you can
actually meet with a potential agent in a non-threatening
manner. Here you can see how they work, collect
business cards, formulate an opinion and talk with them
on a personal basis. If you are thinking about selling a

home, pay close attention to how the agent presents the
home. Make sure the agent is polite, informative,
approachable and professional. Does the agent promote
the home by handing out professional looking feature
sheets or other related materials? Is the agent trying to
play up the features that make the home more enticing?
Or is the agent in the corner, back turned and
uninvolved in the whole scenario?
4.) Pay Attention to Real Estate Signs
Carefully monitor the real estate signs in your
neighborhood. Observe how long from the day they go
up until the home is actually sold. An agent who has a
high sales turnover might be a better choice than an
agent who has lots of for sale signs but few sold signs.
An agent who gets results is what you want.
5.) Why Agents Use Printed Advertising
There are two main reasons real estate agents use
printed advertisement. First is to advertise and sell a
specific piece of real estate. Secondly, advertising is
used to promote the agent handling the transaction. By
checking the local Sunday real estate ads in your
neighborhood and then checking the agents website,
you can find the agents who may specialize in your
particular neighborhood. Contact the agent and inquire
about their expertise and ask any other relative
questions you may have.
6.) Seeking Recommendations from Other Real
Estate Professionals
Ask around and seek out other real estate agents for a
referral. Most agents are happy to refer a buyer or
seller to another associate, if the service you require is
not a specialty they can provide. Some agents only
specialize in resale property, while others work
predominantly with the sale of new homes. Other
agents work exclusively with commercial or investment
properties. Mortgage brokers are a great resource for
agent referrals; many brokers have first-hand
knowledge and can point you in the direction of a topquality real estate agent and remember professionals
tend to refer like-minded peers. There is also typically a
referral fee involved for the referring professional so be
careful that they refer you to the best Agent not the one
that pays the highest referral fee.

Jekyll Island, GA

If you have Georgia on your mind, or in
particular, a historic and scenic slice of
Georgia with enough activities to keep you
and your family busy for the duration of a
satisfying holiday, then consider a trip down
to Jekyll Island. Located in the southwest
corner along the Atlantic coast, this jewel of a
place holds its own along with the rest of the
charming and ideal vacation locations in this
area.
Known specifically for a colorful history that
includes mention of Native Americans,
English colonization, French ownership, and
a group of wealthy landowners know as the
Jekyll Island Club, it is now largely
designated as a historical landmark district,
and can be toured and explored in order to
uncover all the influences and hidden
personality quirks that make it so rich today.
The district can be investigated on one’s own,
or guided tours are available to fill you in on
all the details. If affluence and high society
interest you, the gilded era, which found the
island inhabited by the country’s elite during
the winters, can be revisited by means of
museums and shuttles that navigate through
what is known as “Millionaire Village.”
Restored cottages will allow you see how the
lucky ones lived, and the well-educated tour
guides will tell you all about the customs and
habits of this fascinatingly out-of-theordinary group of people.
If you’re here for the beaches, you’ll have ten
miles of shell-filled, peaceful coastline at
your disposal. Lounging in the sun and
swimming away the afternoon are the perfect
pursuits for a Jekyll Island vacation, so be
sure to properly appreciate the gifts of this
barrier island. It is also designated an
“Important Birding Area” by the Georgia
Audubon Societies, so keep your eyes open
for any number of exotic and migrating
species that may be sitting in the trees or
searching the surf for their next meal.
To get up close and personal to the salt
marshes and estuaries, take a plunge and rent
a kayak or a canoe. Guided tours will point
out all the sights of this interesting ecosystem,
but don’t be afraid to head out on your own
for a peaceful adventure filled with unfamiliar
yet inviting glimpses of a whole new world.
The Tidelands Nature Center will allow you
to further acquaint yourself with the marine
life, particularly the shy creatures like

alligators, snakes, sea turtles, and hermit
crabs.
Wandering the dunes, chartering a sail boat,
and heading out on horse back are a few more
ways to see the untrammeled beauty of this
protected island. You won’t necessarily feel
like you’re out in the wilderness every second
of the day, however, being that there are
plenty of golf courses, tennis courts, and
shopping opportunities to keep you busy in a
different way. Expansive greens, clay
surfaces, and antique and specialty stores
distinguish Jekyll Island from so many other
tourist traps, a feature you’ll come to
appreciate more and more as your stay goes
on.
Twenty miles of paved bicycle paths make for
another fun and healthy way to spend your
day. They can be rented or brought from
home, either way making for a fresh-air filled
and family-oriented means of transporting
yourselves from one end of the island to
another, perhaps stopping for a picnic at your
halfway point. A water park will further
please the kiddies (and the young at heart)
and if you’re up for day trips, consider
traipsing over to one of the other vacation
hotspots. St. Simons Island, Darien, St.
Mary’s, Cumberland, and others would all be
worth a look, so if the wandering spirit
overtakes you, go for it, and still be home in
time for supper.
A number of special events will further entice
you to get out and enjoy the view from Jekyll
Island, so hopefully your stay here will
correspond with a fun celebration or
gathering. The annual Beach Music Festival
is a big one, and organized turtle and
hatchling walks are frequent occurrences that
illustrate the lives of the island’s precious
wildlife while educating the public as well.
It’s a vacation all year round here, so you’ll
surely feel like making merry no matter what
the season.
Finally, to top it all off, consider renting a
vacation property for your Jekyll Island
holiday. The amenities and conveniences of a
beach home or poolside condo are unrivaled,
and we all know that things just go better
when everyone has enough space. Set
yourself up for success and earn the praise of
your fellow travelers by going online to
reserve a Jekyll Island Vacation Rental that
will complete your Georgia getaway.

Businesses That Make
A Difference

Target Corporation is consistently
ranked as one of the most
philanthropic companies in the US. It

ranked #11 in Fortune Magazine's
"Top 20 Most Admired Companies"
for 2007, largely in part to the
donation efforts of the company as a
whole. Target donates around 5
percent of its pre-tax operating profit;
it gives over $3 million a week to the
communities in which it operates. It
also gives a percentage of charges
from its Target Visa to schools
designated by the cardholders. To
date, Target has given over $150
million to schools across the United
States through this program.

During disasters, Target has been a
major benefactor for relief efforts.

Further evidence of Target's
philanthropy can be found in the
Target House complex in Memphis,
Tennessee, a long-term housing
solution for families of patients at the
city's St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital. The corporation led the way
with more than $27 million in
donations, which made available 96
fully furnished apartments for families
needing to stay at St. Jude over 90
days.

Target provided monetary and product
donations during the September 11
attacks; it also donated money for
relief efforts for the 2004 tsunami in
South Asia and donated $1.5 million
(U.S.) to the American Red Cross in
the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in
2005. It also allowed its store
properties in the affected area to be
used as command centers for relief
organizations. It also donated supplies
such as water and bug spray. Check
